Configit Ace - Configuration Lifecycle Management Solution
by Configit GmbH
Configuration Lifecycle Management SaaS Solution for manufacturing companies
Customer demands in B2B manufacturing for customization and personalization are leading to the development of increasingly complex products, systems, and services. Managing thousands of potential product configurations poses the risk of errors arising from duplicated information across multiple systems. Additionally, there is a potential risk of selling a solution to the customer that cannot be manufactured or delivered.
Configit Ace® enables an end-to-end, enterprise-wide configuration process for complex products, systems and services, supporting design, development, manufacturing, sales and support.
Configit Ace® is a vendor-agnostic, Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) SaaS solution designed to function as an enterprise product configurator, capable of seamless integration with various IT systems such as PLM, ERP, CRM, and CPQ. Based on patented Virtual Tabulation® technology, Configit Ace® uses a compilation approach to configuration. All valid rules and variants of product configurations are pre-determined and stored for fast and easy lookup. This enables instant validation of any given customer product configuration with zero risk of errors or delivering the wrong product to the customer. Every valid product configuration within your entire product portfolio is computed, saved and compressed into a compact, portable file.
Unlike other configuration tools that use real-time algorithms, Configit Ace® simplifies the process by making the determination of a selection's validity a simple look-up, as all valid combinations of rules and variants are precomputed. While calculations dependent on customer input and selections are still possible, performance is no longer an issue, and there is zero risk of errors or dead-ends.
With Configit Ace®, manufacturers and service providers can regain control with a scalable, reliable enterprise-grade solution that provides a shared-source-of-truth on product configuration information.
